Objective: to analyze the prevalence of ADHD symptoms and traits in a heterogeneous clinical psychiatric sample of young adults (aged 18-24 years old), who referred to a specialized outpatient clinic for various psychiatric and psychological disturbances.
Method: 259 participants completed three validated self-report screening questionnaires for ADHD: the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS), the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Screening Scale for DSM-5 (ASRS-5), and the Conners' adult ADHD rating scale (CAARS).
Results: 12.4% of our sample scored above the cut-off at both the WURS and the ASRS-5 and was considered at risk of ADHD.
Conclusion: the prevalence rate in our sample is higher than the one found in the adult general population (6.76%), and in the lower range of the one found in the adult clinical population (6.9%-38.8%). The potential role of sociodemographic (age, sex, gender identity, and employment) and comorbidity factors is discussed.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting both children and adults, which often leads to significant difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and working memory. These challenges can impact various cognitive and perceptual domains, including music perception and performance. Despite these difficulties, individuals with ADHD frequently engage with music, and previous research has shown that music listening can serve as a means of increasing stimulation and self-regulation.
